Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from the root נָתַק (nataq), meaning "to pull off" or "to tear away."Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The corresponding Greek entry related to skin conditions and diseases is Strong's Greek Number G5134: τριχία (trichia), which refers to a disease of the hair or scalp. While not a direct translation of נֶתֶק (neteq), it shares a thematic connection in terms of discussing conditions affecting hair and skin in a biblical context. Usage: The term נֶתֶק (neteq) is used in the context of Levitical laws concerning skin diseases, specifically referring to a condition that affects the scalp or beard, resulting in hair loss and requiring priestly examination. Context: נֶתֶק (neteq) appears in the context of Levitical purity laws, particularly in the book of Leviticus. It is described as a condition affecting the skin, specifically the scalp or beard, where the hair becomes thin or falls out, leaving a bald spot. This condition is distinct from other skin diseases mentioned in the Levitical texts, such as leprosy (צָרַעַת, tsara'at). The priest is responsible for examining the affected area to determine if it is indeed נֶתֶק (neteq) and to prescribe the appropriate ritual actions. The presence of נֶתֶק (neteq) required isolation and observation to prevent ritual impurity within the community. The condition is mentioned in Leviticus 13:30-37, where specific guidelines are provided for diagnosing and managing it. The text emphasizes the importance of maintaining ritual purity and the role of the priest in safeguarding the community's health and holiness.
